Shells has graciously submitted to an author interview! Check it out below:
Without giving too much away, can you tell us what your book is about?
Jerrod is a lawyer just like any other lawyer; there is only one exception- he is a zombie or more like what is considered a Zombie Citizen.
Zombies have been converted into Zombie Citizens so that they can live with regular people, IE humans. But someone wants to change the zombies back to the way they were, and possibly take over anything they can. The hitch- it is a client of Jerrod’s.
Jerrod and his friend, a police officer named Rusty who is also a Zombie Citizen, try and stop this craziness from happening through a wild adventure that also includes a lot of super-glue.
How long did it take you to write this book?
Roughly a few months and then of course a bit longer with the editing process.
When did you first realize you wanted to be a writer?
When I was 11 years old and wrote my first poem.
Do you have a specific genre that you always write in or do you try writing in different genres?
I normally float towards Bizarro or Horror, though I do write in other genres as well.
What do you like to do when you’re not writing?
I love to spend time with my family. I’m a big movie buff, so watching movies is a must. A pro-football fan (NFL) and with one team especially. I also am an avid comic collector.
What advice would you give to someone who wants to become a published author?
Make sure it is someplace you have looked into, know your rights as an author via the contract or publication you want to be in. Make sure you are comfortable with the publication; don’t just go to be published. I learned that lesson all to well at one time.
What is the best advice anyone has ever given to you?
Best advice I have gotten is to write what you need to write.
What was the last movie you watched?
Hostel III
Are you a Morning person or Night Owl?
Most certainly a Night Owl, though some will say that I don’t sleep at all.
Thank you Shells for that insightful interview!
